Izlazak 22

Studie

   

1 Ko ukrade vola ili ovcu ili kozu, i zakolje ili proda, da vrati pet volova za jednog vola, a četiri ovce ili koze za jednu ovcu ili kozu.

2 Ako se lupež uhvati gde potkopava, te bude ranjen tako da umre, da ne bude kriv za krv onaj koji ga bude ubio;

3 Ali ako se bude sunce rodilo, da je kriv za krv. A lupež sve da naknadi; ako li ne bi imao, onda da se on proda za svoju krađu.

4 Ako se nađe šta je pokrao u njegovoj ruci živo, bio vo ili magarac ili ovca ili koza, da vrati dvostruko.

5 Ko potre njivu ili vinograd pustivši stoku svoju da pase po tuđoj njivi, da naknadi najboljim sa svoje njive i najboljim iz svog vinograda.

6 Ako izađe vatra i naiđe na trnje, pa izgori stog ili žito koje još stoji ili njiva, da naknadi onaj koji je zapalio.

7 Ako ko da bližnjemu svom novce ili posuđe na ostavu, pa se ukrade iz kuće njegove, ako se nađe lupež, da plati dvojinom;

8 Ako li se ne nađe lupež, onda gospodar od one kuće da stane pred sudije da se zakune da nije posegao rukom svojom na stvar bližnjeg svog.

9 Za svaku stvar za koju bi bila raspra, ili za vola ili za magarca ili za ovcu ili za kozu, ili za haljinu, za svaku stvar izgubljenu, kad ko kaže da je njegova, pred sudije da dođe raspra obojice, pa koga osude sudije, onaj da vrati bližnjemu svom dvojinom.

10 Ako ko da bližnjemu svom da čuva magarca ili vola ili ovcu ili kozu ili kako god živinče, pa ugine ili ohrone, ili ga ko otera a da niko ne vidi,

11 Zakletva Gospodnja neka bude između njih, da nije posegao rukom svojom na stvar bližnjeg svog, i gospodar od stvari neka pristane, a onaj da ne plati.

12 Ako li mu bude ukradeno, neka plati gospodaru njegovom.

13 Ako li ga bude rastrgla zverka da donese od njega svedodžbu, i da ne plati šta je rastrgnuto.

14 Ako ko uzme od bližnjeg svog živinče na poslugu, pa ohrone ili ugine, a gospodar mu ne bude kod njega, da plati.

15 Ako li gospodar bude kod njega, da ne plati. Ako li bude najmljeno, da plati samo najam.

16 Ko bi prevario devojku, koja nije zaručena, te bi spavao s njom, da joj da miraz i uzme je za ženu.

17 A ako mu je otac njen ne bi hteo dati, da da novaca koliko ide u miraz devojci.

18 Veštici ne daj da živi.

19 Ko bi obležao živinče, da se pogubi.

20 Ko žrtvu prinosi bogovima drugim osim jedinog Gospoda, da se istrebi kao prokletnik.

21 Došljaku nemoj činiti krivo niti ga ucveliti, jer ste bili došljaci u zemlji misirskoj.

22 Nemojte ucveliti udovice i sirote.

23 Ako li koju ucveliš u čem god, i poviče k meni, čuću viku njenu,

24 I zapaliće se gnev moj, i pobiću vas mačem, pa će vaše žene biti udovice i vaša deca sirote.

25 Kad daš u zajam novaca narodu mom, siromahu koji je kod tebe, nemoj mu biti kao kamatnik, ne udarajte na nj kamate.

26 Ako uzmeš u zalogu haljinu bližnjemu svom, vrati mu je pre nego sunce zađe;

27 Jer mu je to sve odelo čim zaklanja telo svoje; u čem će spavati? Pa kad poviče k meni, ja ću ga čuti, jer sam milostiv.

28 Nemoj psovati sudije, i starešini naroda svog ne govori ružno.

29 Od letine svoje i od žitkih stvari svojih nemoj se zatezati da prineseš prvine; prvenca između sinova svojih meni da daš.

30 Tako čini s volom svojim i s ovcom i s kozom; sedam dana neka bude s majkom svojom, a osmog dana da ga daš meni.

31 Bićete mi sveti ljudi; mesa u polju rastrgnuta ne jedite, bacite ga psima.

In Genesis 19:37; 21:26; 30:32; 40:7; Matthew 6:30; Luke 12:28, this signifies the perpetuity and eternity of a state. (Arcana Coelestia 2838)

In Psalm 2:7, this signifies in time; for with Jehovah the future is present. (True Christian Religion 101)

The expression 'even to this day' or 'today' sometimes appears in the Word, as in Genesis 19:37-38, 22:14, 26:33, 32:32, 35:20, and 47:26. In a historical sense, these expressions have respect to the time when Moses lived, but in an internal sense, 'this day' and 'today' signify the perpetuity and eternity of a state. 'Day' denotes state, and likewise 'today,' which is the current time. Anything related to time in the world is eternal in heaven, and to represent this, 'today' or 'to this day' is added. Although, in the historical sense, this appears as if the expressions only have a literal meaning, just like it says in other parts of the Word, such as Joshua 4:9, 6:25, 7:20, Judges 1:21, 26, etc. 'Today' means something perpetual and eternal in Psalms 2:7, 119:89-91, Jeremiah 1:5, 10, 18, Deuteronomy 29:9-14, Numbers 28:3, 23, Daniel 8:13, 11:31, 12:11, Exodus 16:4, 19, 20, 23, John 6:31, 32, 49, 50, 58, Matthew 6:11, and Luke 11:3.

2838. 'As it is said today' means that which is perpetual. This is clear from the meaning of 'today' in the Word, dealt with below. One frequently reads in the Word the phrase 'even to this day (or today)', as in what has gone before,

He is the father of Moab even to this day, and the father of Ammon even to this day. Genesis 19:37-38; and in what appears later on,

The name of the city is Beersheba even to this day. Genesis 26:33; also,

The children of Israel do not eat the sinew of that which was displaced, which is on the hollow of the thigh, even to this day. Genesis 32:32; as well as,

This is the pillar of Rachel's grave even to [this] day. Genesis 35:20.

Joseph made it a statute even to this day. Genesis 47:26.

In the historical sense 'to this day' and 'today' refer to the time when Moses was alive, but in the internal sense these expressions mean perpetuity and eternity of state. 'Day' means state, see 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, and so therefore does 'today', which is the present time. That which in the world is temporal is in heaven eternal. To give the meaning of that which is eternal, the expression today or else to this day has been added, though to those who are aware only of the historical sense it does not appear to embody anything further. Similar usages of these expressions occur elsewhere in the Word, such as Joshua 4:9; 6:25; 7:26; Judges 1:21, 26; and in other places.

[2] That 'today' means that which is perpetual and eternal may be seen in David,

I will tell of the statute: Jehovah has said to me, You are My Son; today I have begotten You. Psalms 2:7.

Here 'today' plainly stands for that which is eternal. In the same author,

For ever, O Jehovah, Your Word is fixed in the heavens, Your truth to generation after generation. You have established the earth and it stands. As for Your judgements they stand [even] today. Psalms 119:89-91.

Here also 'today' plainly stands for that which is eternal. In Jeremiah,

Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you, and before you came out of the womb I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations. I have set you this day (today) over nations and over kingdoms; and I have made you today into a fortified city, and into a pillar of iron, and into walls of bronze. Jeremiah 1:5, 10, 18.

This refers in the sense of the letter to Jeremiah, but in the internal sense the Lord is meant. 'I have set you this day (or today) over nations and over kingdoms, and I have made you today into a fortified city' means from eternity. In regard to the Lord one can only speak of that which is eternal.

[3] In Moses,

You are standing today, all of you, before Jehovah your God, so that you may enter into the covenant of Jehovah your God, and into His oath, which Jehovah your God is making with you today, that He may establish you today as a people for Himself, and that He will be God to you. Not indeed with you alone [do I make it], but with those who stand with us here today before Jehovah our God, and with those who are not with us today. Deuteronomy 29:10, 12-15.

Here in the sense of the letter 'today' means that present time when

Moses addressed the people. Yet it is clear that it nevertheless implies subsequent times and what is perpetual; for making a covenant with anyone, and with those who were there and with those who were not, implies that which is perpetual. Perpetuity itself is what is meant in the internal sense.

[4] That 'daily' and 'today' mean that which is perpetual is clear also from the sacrifice that was offered each day. This sacrifice, because of what is meant by day, daily, and today, was called the continual, or perpetual, sacrifice, Numbers 28:3, 23; Daniel 8:13; 11:31; 12:11. This may be even more plainly evident from the manna which rained from heaven, spoken of in Moses as follows,

Behold, I am causing bread to rain from heaven, and the people shall go out and gather a portion day by day. And they shall not leave any of it until the morning. That which they did leave until the morning bred worms and went rotten, except that gathered on the day before the Sabbath. Exodus 16:4, 19-20, 23.

This happened because 'the manna' meant the Lord's Divine Human, John 6:31-32, 49-50, 58, and because the Lord's Divine Human meant heavenly food, which is nothing other than love and charity, together with the goods and truths of faith. In heaven the Lord imparts this food to angels moment by moment, thus perpetually and eternally, see 2193. This is also what is meant in the Lord's Prayer by the petition, Give us today our daily bread, Matthew 6:11; Luke 11:3, that is, in every moment for evermore.
